I feel so vulnerable to the police though I am a law abiding citizen that will give the clothes off of his back to help someone in need. The reason for this uncomfortable emotion is the Sean Bell verdict . I am not a vulgar man, but how the Hell can somebody let 50 damn bullets on them on the way for their Bachelor's party and get away with it.

 

American has not changed very little since the Jim Crow days when a white man could mutilate a poor helpless black men like Emitt Till and get away with murder.

“There are two versions of justice in this
city, one for police officers, and another one for everyone else,” said
the Center for Constitutional Rights. “This case demonstrates once
again why we need an independent prosecutor to look into cases of
police brutality: We clearly cannot rely on the city to prosecute its
own. The epidemic of police violence in this city must end before
another innocent man loses his life.

 

I do not buy that, there is only one side to the justice and that is the side of the police officers killing black men for no reason. What did we do to be hated so much? Some of us may not be the best examples, however I am witness that I am an example of a great black man that is too often harrased by the police sometime for just walking at night.

 

What do you all think?

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK OF THIS SITUATION(S)?

I cannot even put my anger into words over this case. I Think more than anything this case speaks volumes about how much cops are allowed to get away with, especially when the victim is Black (expendable). Two of the cops were Black, but they were cops nonetheless so they still get their free pass. How are we supposed to be safe when cop are allowed to commit murder, battery, sexual assault, etc. ? I just hope those bastards get what's coming to them.
